[umbilical]

I have a some flac files:

 

1. I add flac files to toast

2. I create a audio CD

 

my question is if the render of toast make that I loose quality of the original flac file (song)???

what make toast with the flac? decompress the flac, so convert to .wav ???? for create the audio cd? if yes, they convert without loosing quality????

 

please is very important to me this!!! I buy Toast just for make this!

Toast does not have any MP3 encoder. Other than uncompressed WAV and AIFF Toast can compress to FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, AAC and Apple Lossless. Your FLAC audio is uncompressed when making an audio CD without going through any other processing, so it will be lossless compared to the source files.

 

Roxio used to sell a Mac application called Jam that was for making Red Book standard audio CDs. Toast 10 has much of the workings from that Jam application so that it also meets the Red Book standard.

 

Thanks, so I now have peace of mind that I dont loose quality!

I'm not an expert about this, but I believe there is no quality lost when converting the FLAC to an audio CD using Toast. Toast uses QuickTime to convert to uncompressed 16-bit, 44.1 khz, 2-channel audio for the audio CD.

thanks! a lot people that know about lossless format say that I dont loose quality, but I ask here beacuse is a roxio forum... so if toast use quicktime for uncompress to wav 16-bit, 44.1 khz, 2-channel audio for the audio CD, yes dont loose quality...

 

my fear is this: that toast convert .flac to .mp3 or some lossy poor format! and create the audio cd with lossy quality!, but if convert the flac to wav that make sense that DONT loose quality RIGHT?

 

a warning on toast would be good when add mp3 (lossy formats) for create a audio cd, like say "hey the final cd dont still have the lossy quality)

 

any commnet? thanks
